ᐅ Are there Ikea PAX wardrobe models available with both sliding doors and hinged doors?

Hello everyone, I am currently planning a wardrobe and have been looking more closely at the Ikea PAX systems. I noticed that there seem to be wardrobe models with both sliding doors and hinged doors. My specific question is: Are there actually PAX wardrobe variants from Ikea that can be configured with either sliding doors or hinged doors? Or are these door types always strictly separate within the PAX system, meaning you have to choose either sliding doors or hinged doors? I would really appreciate it if someone with experience or detailed knowledge could provide some insight, including any differences regarding installation, handling, or potential limitations of the door types. Thanks in advance!

Hello Anabel, regarding your question: Yes, the PAX system from Ikea actually offers both sliding doors and hinged doors, but these are different door types that cannot be combined. This means you can either configure a PAX wardrobe with hinged doors that are attached with hinges, or you choose sliding doors that run on tracks. Sliding doors are especially practical if you have limited space in front of the wardrobe, as they do not swing outward. On the other hand, hinged doors offer the advantage that you can open the entire wardrobe space fully, which often makes organizing easier. It is important to pay attention to the exact dimensions and installation when it comes to sliding doors, as their assembly is somewhat more specialized. If you like, I can also explain the main differences in the installation and maintenance of the two door types.

Hey Anabel! 😄 I totally agree with Ramon4—PAX really offers both options. That’s actually one of its biggest advantages: it’s very flexible. Sliding doors are great if you have limited space in front of the wardrobe because the doors slide to the side instead of swinging out in front of you. Hinged doors, on the other hand, can open wide, making it very easy to access the wardrobe. My tip: think about how much space you have and how you prefer to use your wardrobe. And don’t worry, you can customize the interior fittings with either door type—clothes rails, drawers, shelves, everything. Enjoy planning! 😊

In short: Yes, PAX offers both. But they cannot be combined on the same wardrobe. It’s either sliding doors or hinged doors.

The sliding doors from PAX are available separately as sets and fit only the designated frames. Hinged doors can be attached to standard door frames with screws. There is no option to combine both on the same wardrobe.

Thank you for the answers so far! One more detailed question: Are there typical experiences regarding the stability or durability of sliding doors compared to hinged doors? I ask because I have read that sliding doors can sometimes become difficult to operate or stick after a certain period of use. Is this a common issue with Ikea PAX, or more of an isolated case? And how about maintenance?
